Bayard Rustin vs Malcolm X

It might be time for a full-on biopic on Br. Bayard Rustin to remind black folks that, no matter how you may get down behind closed doors, Dr. Micheal Eric Dyson might say, we are all largely in the same bag.

It's interesting to read Gore's account of attending the event as a pacifist, but finding himself drawn in to Malcolm's message. I'd like to see more of this kind of thing on the web, for this is the web at it's best. Not just a repository for pornography and celebrity gossip -- although, you know, whatever -- but as an easily-accessed archive of important articles.
